Maybe it's more a 3 stars and a half. thing is, i liked it pretty much, but it took me too long a time to read, and that's for sure a sign of something. which is, in my opinion, this book dragged on a bit, it indulged slightly too much in atmosphere and educated quotes and characters and so on. I learned some i guess, and all the references were clever, but i loved the first better, more of Matthew and Diana as a couple would have maybe improved the all thing. But i'll start the third tonight of course
